I think this is a bad take, a take that assumes one is superior for using Linux over proprietary alternatives

I never actually understood why retarded was used by mechanics when a car wasn't running right "The timing on this is a bit retarded" but now I know. Thank you

Should be the same link without the tracking

The question is so generic and open ended it's not a surprise. The only filter on this is "runs well on ThinkPad" and "lightweight", which are both up to interpretation

I did pretty much exactly this on a Galaxy S1 (i9000) that was old even when I got it, but my uncle who gave it to me said that to make it usable I needed to install Cyanogenmod.

I thought I fully bricked the phone trying and it actually sat dormant for years afterwards until I re-found the Odin backups I had taken, and was able to fully fix and restore it. Unfortunately by that time, nearly no ROM existed that was both up to date and a usable speed.

Oh my gosh, that solution is incredibly smart. I've been wanting to keep my phone below 80% since I got it, but ultimately was trying to manually check it and gave up, and two years later my Pixel 4a battery is pretty poor.

I'm setting this up, thank you so much. I think I do even have a WiFi adapter somewhere I hadn't found a use for.

It was WHAT? Time to dust off my HP Jornadas

I'm in the same boat whether on Windows, macOS, Linux or Android. But my sister, in the same household, also using uBO on FF, has been getting the message constantly

With logging, one thing I deal with at an MSP is BSODs. Maybe I'm just not experienced enough, but it feels like the event logs in Windows only help if it's something obvious like a poorly written or buggy application. If it's a driver issue they just are near useless. I usually end up downloading WinDbg (which has such an archaic UI on Windows 11) and read the minidumps, and it's like a 75% chance it's helpful.

In the meantime on *nix, yeah there's literally logs for just about everything if you look in the right places.

Wow, that's so safe. Nothing more safer than the world's biggest advertising company having full access to my internet history.

It's just so dystopian almost, that these things that are objectively bad are named things that sound good, like Enhanced Safe Browsing, Topics API, Web Environment Integrity, etc

I definitely was disappointed to see the new Outlook just mirrored the web version's mail rules. I had custom mail rules that would play a sound when triggered, that isn't possible in the new Outlook now (that I could find).

At least on PC, middle mouse click for the win

(But absolute pain when I'm on my laptop)
